Notre-Dame Basilica at night Photo

Photographer’s Note

The church's architecture is among the most dramatic in the world; its interior is grand and colourful, its ceiling is coloured deep blue and decorated with golden stars, and the rest of the sanctuary is a polychrome of blues, azures, reds, purples, silver, and gold. It is filled with hundreds of intricate wooden carvings and several religious statues. Unusual for a church, the stained glass windows along the walls of the sanctuary do not depict biblical scenes, but rather scenes from the religious history of Montreal. It also has a Canadian-built Casavant Frères pipe organ, which comprises four keyboards, 97 stops, almost 7000 individual pipes and a pedal board.

La fantastica città di Montreal... A volte penso che ogni canadese dovrebbe avere una macchina fotografica per legge :-)

Secondo me, qui, c'è però un problema di bilanciamento del bianco. Ti consiglio di vedere questa foto

http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/photo635563.htm

dove c'è un'inquadratura simile, con colori molto diversi. Non so chi abbia ragione :-)

Altro dubbio: ma come hai fatto col grandangolo? La basilica è enorme, difficile prenderla tutta.

PS Molto bella la cornice.
